For the Shortbread Biscuits:
2 cup of all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp of brown sugar
1 Tbsp of baking powder
pinch of salt
1 tsp of nutmeg
1 sticks of butter, frozen
¾ cup of milk, plus 2 tbsp
2 Tbsp of course sugar
For the Shortbread Biscuits:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Whisk together dry ingredients and then grate the butter (if frozen) or cut cold butter into small cubes and using your fingers, mix into the dry ingredients quickly and evenly.
3. Pour in milk and stir quickly with the handle end of a wooden spoon just until the dough comes together.
4. Sprinkle a little flour onto a work surface, and pat out dough into a circle, about one and one half inches thick. Cut into 4 or 6 wedges and place on a baking sheet that has been lightly greased.
5. Brush wedges with the 2 tbsp of milk and sprinkle with course sugar.
6. Bake for 12 minutes or so, until tops are golden.
